Charlie got down from the car, and when he saw that there were only so few people at the scene, he asked coldly, "Didn't you say that there would be a total of more than seven hundred members of the Wade family from all over the world who would be attending the ancestor worship ceremony today? Where have all of them gone now?"
Jeremiah said awkwardly, "Charlie, as the saying goes, all of them had already fled as soon as they heard of the upcoming catastrophe. They know that w e would not be able to escape this time and so, they naturally would not want to accompany us and die together with us. It is only natural for them to have left overnight."
Charlie snorted and said indifferently, "Where is the big list of names from yesterday? Bring it to me."
Charlie’s eldest uncle, Clayton, stepped forward in a somewhat depressed manner, and he handed a thick roster over to Charlie as he said angrily, "Here! Take a look at it for yourself."
Charlie threw the roster directly at Clayton and said coldly, "I want you to immediately notify everyone on this list who should have come but did not that if they do not show up within an hour, they will have to come here tomorrow and grovel three times and kneel one time, starting from the foot of the mountain, in order t
o atone for their sins!” 2
Clayton did not know what to say in a fit of anger. At this time, Felix, who was aside, had a dejected look on his face as he said, "Charlie, that's enough... It is no longer meaningful or significant if you continue being pretentious and putting up an act here. Porter Waldron will be here in an hour, and we are all already on the verge of death. Is there any significance even if you continue saying such pretentious words?"
Charlie frowned as he looked at Felix and questioned," Why? Did you not get slapped enough yesterday?”
Felix took a few steps backward in fear and said resentfully, "Okay, fine. I'll shut up! I’ll shut up! Anyway, there is only one hour left. I will wait here and see how you're going to deal with Porter Waldron!"
Charlie was too lazy to be bothered about him. He turned to look at Clayton and said indifferently, "Call them one by one immediately!” 4
Clayton had no choice but to take out his cell phone and call them one by one.
After making dozens of calls in a row, he could not get through to any of their cell phones at all.
Clayton spread out his hands helplessly and said," There is no other way. All of them have already turned off their cell phones. I believe that they will not turn o n their cell phones until tomorrow."
"Okay.” Charlie had a blank look on his face as he nodded and said, "In that case, just wait and see how these seven hundred people are going to line up and grovel all the way up the mountain tomorrow, then." 3
At this time, Yule also drove the car up after catching u p with Curtis' old subordinates at the bottom of the mountain.
